About this stay
The entire upstairs home, just for you. The terrace is the heart of the place: two hammocks slung under a hand-painted mandala skylight, the jungle canopy pressing in on every side. Hours disappear without you noticing. Two warm-wood bedrooms, an open kitchen with big windows onto the trees, and a quiet corner for morning coffee or a yoga flow (mats are in the cupboard). Sleeps up to four. Tanote Bay is a five-minute walk down the hill.
The space
The house is located in a very calm and laid-back area of Koh Tao, in Tanote Bay. It combines a beautiful beach with great snorkelling, diving, and cliff jumping from the famous rock in the centre of the bay. A few hundred metres from the sea up the hill, walking distance to the beach. Surrounded by green garden and forest with a peaceful view onto the sea. There's a rock on the property about 100m up the hill with an even better view.
Guest access. You get the entire 2nd floor of the house. Feel free to roam the garden, hike up the hill behind the house, get to know the neighbours, and most importantly, slow down.

What guests are saying
“This place is magic. Surrounded by cultivated jungle flora, but can hear & see the ocean from the deck. The beach is a short walk away with restaurants, dive shops & massage spots. LOVE this place.”
“This place was an absolute gem! Just a short walk from a stunning beach. The ambiance was peaceful, and I felt completely at ease the entire stay. Kevin is truly one of a kind. Friendly, attentive, and accommodating.”
“Beautiful place filled with love around the whole property. This apartment calms you down and makes you feel like home. We wouldn't have regret to stay there even longer. We will be there one day again!”
Where you'll stay
Tanote Bay, east side of Koh Tao
Five minutes' walk down the hill to the beach, restaurants, and dive shops. Quiet, jungle-wrapped, and far from the Sairee party crowd. Right next to KD Genetics — small steep road up to the house with a sign at the entrance.
